다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to classify the work values of high school students, examine the characteristics of each type group, identify variables affecting work value types, and analyze differences in career decision-making according to each type. To achieve this, we used data from 2,252 second-year high school students who responded to the 5th year of the 1st grade cohort of the 2018 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey(KCYPS). A three-step approach of latent profile analysis was conducted to classify the latent profiles. The findings revealed the followings: A three-step approach of latent profile analysis was conducted to classify the latent profiles: ‘stability-oriented and aptitude-focused type’ (49.4%)’, ‘overall high-importance type’ (34.0%), ‘work value contemplation type’ (12.3%), and ‘overall low-importance type’ (4.3%). Second, the individual variable affecting the latent profiles was found to be academic satisfaction, while the family factor was the frequency of career-related conversations with the mother. As for career activity factors, nine career activities, including ‘career and occupation’ classes, creative experience activities, career psychological and aptitude tests, and career-related club activities, were found to influence work value types. Lastly, among the latent profile types, the ’overall low-importance type’ exhibited higher levels of career decision-making compared to other groups. The implications of the study suggest the necessity for career education aimed at clarifying high school students’ work values, efforts to increase academic satisfaction, parent education to facilitate positive conversations with children, and setting directions for career activities that influence work value types.
